Beachfront condo with big Gulf views from 2 balconies - pools & private beach

We have been coming to SPI for 40 years and at OVT for 5. We stayed in this condo for 9 nights and unfortunately left feeling disappointed, especially considering the price. We paid over 1K more than we've spent on nicer, better-maintained condos in the same complex, and the condition of this unit didn’t match the cost.Pros: view is beautiful, patio furniture & rocking chairs were comfortable, the AC worked well, ample cabinet storage in the kitchen Cons: outdated and in need of serious maintenance. There was a strong, unpleasant odor throughout the day & night. Several features didn’t function properly, including the ceiling fan in living room, dining table light, TV in the guest bedroom, and garbage disposal. The Internet was spotty & had to be reset frequently.Bathrooms had multiple issues: the hall toilet didn’t consistently flush, the shower door didn’t slide, and the master bathroom had a loose toilet paper holder and toilet seat in poor condition. The glass coffee tables in the living room felt unstable and unsafe—especially with children around.Kitchen lacked some basic essentials like a spatula & oven mitts, and there were no hooks or spaces to hang towels or wet bathing suits. Even small details, like the excessively long entry code, added to the frustration.Overall, this unit has potential, but for the price point, we expected much more. Until significant updates and repairs are made, we would not book again or recommend to others.

We loved that the room faced the water and had a great balcony to sit and enjoy.

The view from the balcony took my breath away every morning. The place needs some updating on the sliding doors that weren’t operable.

The condo was beautiful, however cleaning personal could take alittle bit more Pride in their cleaning, booger on the wall. Sandy and grimy on the counters, bathroom cabinets had leftover q-tips, stove and microwave had old food residue. We had no cable in one room the whole trip, and no internet for 2 days out of 3. Batjroom tubs clogged up.Biggest concern , we were not told we would be Vacationing with Roaches. Very nice Condo but could use a bit more work on cleanliness. Also office does not exist so don't bother complain or checking in with office. I have photos, call logs, and screenshot of every report I made for all the inconvieneces

We loved the condo and the location and the views. It is a perfect place to relax and get away. First time for us going to South Padre. We will return !!

The unit was great for a short trip. The location and views from the balcony were nice. Some things that could use improvement: even though the unit came with 4 tv’s we could only get 2 to work, the kitchen was minimally stocked and there were no oven mitts, the dishes and silverware were very old. We also after the second day had a horrible ant infestation in the kitchen and it seemed that they were coming from the gap from behind the backsplash - we killed them with paper towels and once we stored all the food away in the oven they stopped coming but as soon as we left any food out on the counter there were swarms of them again. It also would have been nice if there had been a broom or mop - we did track in sand from the beach and there was no way to clean it up. Towels were not absorbent and there were no bath floor mats/towels.

Place appears to have been renovated in the last few years. Furniture and appliances are great. Bathrooms need update but worked fine. Balcony is great. Lots of beach stuff in the condo, and which was great. Sink backed up the first night but Vacasa was responsive and fixed it next day. Overall we were pleased.

This property had many problems and our month there was never a problem addressed. We love Ocean Vista complex but this unit was not connected thru them. Guest room bed sheets were covered in human and I assume dog hair, shower doors broken, patio door unlockable and would not shut all tge way, sink master bath faucet not connected, overhead lights master and living not working, smoke detector had a short, list goes on and on. Paid too dollar and over other units. Do not want to deal with Vacasa again. The list goes on from coffee pot not working correct to patio furniture stacked and rusted.

The unit had plenty of space with the third bedroom. Beds were comfy and corner location was great! Had some ants in the kitchen but they came in and sprayed. Decor was a little too NYC for us Texans but would definitely stay here again!

The condo was very clean, well decorated and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The pool and hot tub was a great way to unwind from long days at the beach. I’ve been to SPI many times and this was by far the best place I’ve ever stayed.
